Finding a capable trail rig that doesn't require black market organ pawning to afford is no easy task. But before you get into that bathtub full of ice, maybe you should take a look at the Norco Fluid FS 3 Complete Mountain Bike. This beautifully designed bike is an absolute blast to ride, comes spec'd out with a powerful and efficient SRAM drivetrain, and will leave your buddies' mega enduro machines in the dust when it comes time to climb. It flows downhill better than any short travel bike has a right to, and as an added bonus, you get to keep both of your kidneys. Think about it.
Lightweight Aluminum Frame – The premium X6 double-butted aluminum 6061 alloy frame features size-scaled tubing to maintain the same ride quality across all frame sizes. Thoughtful design details such as internal cable routing and smooth welding allow for clean lines and a quiet, rattle-free ride.
Progressive Design – The Fluid FS uses Norco's holistic approach to fit, geometry and suspension kinematics to achieve its playfully confident singletrack performance. The unique combination of longer reach, slacker head tube angle and steep seat tube angle provides a more forward weight distribution within a longer wheelbase. This allows for more powerful pedaling, increased climbing traction and added grip and control when descending so you can confidently evolve your skills.
X-Fusion 02 Pro R Rear Shock – The 02 series line of shocks include a new air canister design which adds 15% more air for smoother ramp up, increased tuning options with three different size air-can volume spacers, and larger, more ergonomic knobs to allow for easier access to the adjustments.
Shock Adjustments – Rebound Adjust, Remote Lockout

Fork Adjustments – Low Speed Compression and Near Lockout Firmness, Rebound, Air Pressure
SRAM SX Eagle™ – SX Eagle™ means easy, intuitive shifting every time for every rider. It's lighter, simpler, and more durable, offering value performance in a 1x drivetrain.
Tektro HD-M275 Hydraulic Disc Brakes – An open system, dual piston disc brake system. 160mm rotor in the rear, 180mm in the front.
Goodyear Newton Front Tire – Featuring a fast-rolling center tread, firmly supported side knobs, and advanced compounds, the Newton provides surefooted traction in a wide range of conditions. As befitting a tire named after the man who defined the laws of gravity and motion, the Newton is the enduro and downhill rider’s choice; it’s the tire to reach for when the terrain gets steep.
Goodyear Escape Rear Tire – A capable trail tire available in a wide range of sizes for any region, the Escape offers versatile off-road performance in all conditions. Widely-spaced and carefully siped square knobs generate edge-to-edge grip, sophisticated rubber compounds ensure traction across a broad range of terrain, and durable casings offer security wherever the trail may lead.
